UCLA mathematics professor Stan Osher, Cognitech Inc CEO Leonid Rudin and then PhD student Emad Fatemi, now sadly deceased, created a numerical algorithm that was instrumental in reconstructing the cleaned up image of the black hole captured in April 2017.

UCLA mathematics professor Tim Austin has published a proof of the "weak Pinsker conjecture," first posed in the 1970s. Austin's work provides the building blocks for a better understanding of the mathematical descriptions of random change.
